Fall has sprung with a trove of new titles to consume. Check out box office hit "Prometheus" and bomb "Dark Shadows;" see for yourself if Richard Gere’s performance in "Arbitrage" is Oscar worthy; you’ve heard about it but now watch the raunchiest comedy of the year, "Klown" (yes, you read correctly); Ice-T schools us about hip-hop with "Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap." Plus, with the kickoff of football season, check out some great football movies.

Ridley Scott's dive back into the "Alien" franchise (we’re all good with saying this is an "Alien" prequel, right?) sets us about 30 years before we enter the Nostromo as scientist Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and her team visit a distant moon in hopes of first contact and end up scrambling to save the human race.

Why Watch It: Regardless if you like the "Alien" franchise or not, on its own, the film is a thrilling ride with Scott's patented visual style.

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton re-team for this whimsical retelling of the classic '60s soap opera with Depp playing vampire Barnabas Collins, who returns home to help his descendants but has to adjust to modern times first.

Why Watch It: Though it didn't find much of an audience in theaters, Burton and Depp fans are sure to be interested.

From the makers of the smash Justin Bieber movie, "Never Say Never," it's now Katy Perry's turn for a closer look at the artist. This both highlights her high-powered concerts and offers a revealing behind-the-scenes glimpse at the superstar.

A group of British retirees travel to India to stay in what they think is a beautifully restored hotel. Said hotel turns out to be not quite as appealing as advertised, but it slowly grows on the group.

Dutch comedy team Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen expand on their popular Danish series of the same title as we follow fictional versions of themselves go out on a sex-crazed canoe trip. However, hoping to score points with his girlfriend, Frank has his 12-year-old nephew tag along, leading to a road trip on the water that you'll never forget.

Why Watch It: Inspired by the loose improvisational style of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Hvam and Christensen take it to another level with their raunchiness.

Set in the 19th Century Victorian era, this romantic comedy is loosely based on the creation of the vibrator, which Dr. Mortimer Granville (Hugh Dancy) offers to women who are misdiagnosed as being hysterical (at the time pegged to women dealing with insomnia, depression, even sexual frustration).

Why Watch It: If that description isn’t enough, Dancy and Maggie Gyllenhaal play a cute couple.

In the latest from Tony Kaye ("American History X"), Adrien Brody stars as a substitute teacher on the brink of giving up on his students when the current lack of respect for authority in schools drives him and his colleagues to their breaking point.

Why Watch It: As is his style, Kaye doesn't hold back to show the current state of our education system.

This documentary from veteran filmmakers Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg ("Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work") looks at the lost art of the knuckleball, a baseball pitch rarely used in the Major Leagues anymore.

Why Watch It: In a sports era where faster and stronger rules all, this fascinating doc proves that slow and steady can still win the race.

In indie maverick Todd Solondz's latest awkward dramedy, Abe thinks he's found the perfect girl in socially awkward Miranda (Selma Blair), but he finds it difficult to woo her after he tells her he works for his father and still lives at home.

In this beautiful character study by Danish director Joachim Trier ("Reprise"), we follow a recovering drug addict who leaves treatment to interview for a job and catch up with friends.

Why Watch It: Amazing performances and direction by Trier.
